It's Christmas Eve. Time to go home and watch Peter Billingsley be 10 or 12 years old again for a couple of hours. Merry Christmas everyone, and may 2013 be filled with health and happiness to all of you.

The W&D building is gone now. The Santa and the giant wreath were found in a warehouse some years ago and rerfurbished. Now they hang on other buildings around town. Last year all the incandescent lights were replaced with LEDs. Some of the magic returns every year.

i have fond memories of the great christmas windows at the diamond dept. store in charleston, wv, where i grew up---i was fascinated by all the moving displays. i'm sure a much smaller scale than wolf and dessauer, but delightful, nevertheless!
